I have the script. 

I was contacted by a novelist who has two novels and currently one screenplay.  The stories are great and I know that they both can be filmed using a modest budget.  I then started thinking - where should I start.  Who should I contact first?  Should I contact an actor first or should I contact a director of photography first?  Or should I try to find financing first?

Well, luckily I got some good advice from a director friend of mine and he told me that these are good options to start, but even before that I need to secure the rights to be able to film the screenplay!  I can’t do anything without that.  So after I get the rights to produce the screenplay then I need to set up a  “Private Placement Memorandum” which is what I need if I’m going to be getting investors.  Legal stuff… ICK!!  Oh well, I guess that’s why they call it “show  business” right?

I am also going to have to create a business plan - which I think I’ll probably be able to find some samples online.  I will have to have to go and seek legal advice and actually pay for legal fees I think at this point.  Oh well, I knew I was going to have to start spending some money at some point… now - let me see, where to find the money… *digging in pockets*  Oh well, I’ll find some money somewhere!!

I have to recommend that everyone watch this movie.  It was such a well done film.  The acting, the story, the wackiness of it, the complete disregard for typical storylines make this movie a must see in my opinion.  Trust me.
